That's what I thought as well, but from another hand, if people can't do
that, they might rage quit and the game might die. Its a 2 edged sword.

Fixing the redirect exploit would make them stop making fake servers.

A HL1 server can force the players to execute the "connect"
command or even
you can reply with a "redirect packet" when they connect. So
any kid can
host 10 fake servers (usually using the names of other
servers), all being
almost full, and redirect the players to a real server. Some
real servers
have even hundreds of fake servers behind them, hosted by
regular players,
because this is a condition for getting administrative rights.
Also some
companies hosting game servers provide a service or support
for hosting such
fake servers. For example they provide the kits so the players
can download
and run the fake servers with only 2 clicks, or even they can
host for free
some fake servers if you buy a real server.
What a disgusting community... Thanks for the insight!
